The 10 Best Lineups in the NBA Playoffs Since 2001
The Celtics' Big Three was the main driver to their success, but where do they rank among the best NBA Playoff lineups in recent history?

T6) 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks

Lineup: : J.J. Barea, Jason Terry, Peja Stojakovic, Dirk Nowitzki, Brendan Haywood

Net Rating: 20.4

Dirk Nowitzki is really the only player we think of when we think of the 2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks. There's obvious reasons for that, including his status as Finals MVP and a future Hall of Famer.

Nonetheless, Nowitzki fed off of a great supporting cast. Jason Terry, Peja Stojakovic and company aren't the biggest names, but they were key to the Mavs shooting 25.3% better and producing 9.1 more makes than opponents from beyond the three-point line per 100 possessions.
